<p>Il più piccolo intero più grande di o uguale al dato numero.</p>

<h2 id="Descrizione">Descrizione</h2>

<p>Visto che <code>ceil()</code> è un metodo statico di <code>Math</code>, va usato sempre come <code>Math.ceil()</code>, piuttosto che come metodo di un oggetto <code>Math</code> creato (<code>Math</code> non è un costruttore).</p>
